'The splendid Exchange in Ancient Greece looks at Homer (gift exchange, marriage, commerce), Athens (terminology, the agora, comic inversions and the Cyclops, the Oresteia), and money (coinage, the money pouch and sexual exchange), revealing the complexity and symbolism inherent in its subject.' Greece and Rome '... this is an important and thought-provoking book. It brings the debate on the economy of classical Greece, and its ambiguities, a step forward.' Mnemosyne
